soy sauce chicken

Cantonese braised fowl

Soy sauce chicken is a Cantonese dish of chicken braised or poached in a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, and aromatics like ginger and star anise.

The slow cooking produces tender meat with glossy, mahogany-colored skin.

It's a staple of Chinese barbecue shops, often displayed hanging in windows alongside roast duck and char siu: We ordered soy sauce chicken over rice.
